A Taylored Expressions Christmas in July Blog Hop

Good Morning Everyone,

I am excited today to be part of the Taylored Expressions Christmas in July Blog Hop! Taylor has these awesome Perfect Packages in her store that you might have seen her use before and they have been a large and small square size (they are awesome because they are sturdy and have a magnetic closure that snaps it tight! and you can decorate it anyway you would like) - Well - Today - Taylored Expressions will offer a new rectangle size Perfect Package that will is PERFECT for A2 size cards and envelopes - this is called the Perfect Package Card Box! This is truly the perfect package to create a gift set o notecards - and so for today's blog hop - I decided to make some Christmas gifts using the Perfect Packages and the beautiful sentiments from the Faith and Hope stamp set from Taylored Expressions.

A Christmas Present for DH's Aunt:

This is a Christmas present made for one of my DH's aunts - she is such a wonderful and giving person and has been a sweet inspiration of mine - I adore her and am excited that I have a gift for her for this Christmas and its only July! I used the new Perfect Package Card Boxand it can easily hold a 8-12 layered A2 cards - but since mine also had some dimensionals, I made 4 A2 cards with envelopes that fit perfectly in the box.

I loved decorating the box - the sentiment from the Faith and Hope stamp set reads: Faith can move mountains.

Here is a top view of the box:

This is the view of the box closed:

And this is a picture of the box opened:

I created a little pocket on the inside of the box that can hold stamps and also created a ribbon holder to hold a pen - so that letter writing and mailing are within reach:

I made 4 cards total - 2 of each kind - here is the card set that reads: Faith can move mountains with the envelopes:

And here are the 2 cards with the sentiment that reads: "The peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

And just one more picture - I simply love this product! I can't wait to make one for me! lol! :)

I had so much fun making this gift set in the recatangle Perfect Package - and had to make one more using the small square Perfect Package. This is perfect for little notecards - and I made this for another one of DH's aunts using the Tiny Dancer paper Collection along with the Faith and Hope stamp set:

Here is a picture of the box closed

And here is the picture of the box opened:

I made six notecards all of the same - and kept it really simple so that I could make alot and also with the layers being minimal - the box can hold more!

Well, I had so much fun making these gift boxes for DH's Aunts - I love how these boxes are so sturdy and have the magnetic closure!
